Of course, Sutemasu didn't help much, but at least she was joking. He could appreciate a joke or two. Minaru, on the other hand, was almost as bad as the brat! Hageshī was just begging for an excuse to pound them both into the ground. Of course, that wasn't why they were there. A mission was about to go underway and he had no time to fool around with them. [color=a36209]"Kirigakure is a dangerous village...I want all of you to stick close by me."[/color] He demanded his students in a strict voice and booming voice. And like that, they were on their way. The teams would take some time to travel to the factory. He always kept his eye on his students, making sure they weren't moving away too far from the group. As they made their way to the factory, Hageshī noticed the mist was beginning to thicken. Using his Wind Release techniques, he would allow for it the clear out of the way for him and his team. Soon enough, they would find themselves at the cliff leading to the factory. Hageshī stared down at the buildings, trying to scope out the area as the other two teams went on their way. It was not long until he eventually decided it was time to move out. With the small cat pressuring him, Hageshī nodded, jumping off the side. He landed softly on the water, before standing up, and treading through the mist towards the factory. It was at that moment that, if the students noticed, a kunai flew past Hageshī's head. On it was a paper-bomb, sticking itself to the cliff side. It appeared that the enemy was trying to cause the cliff to fall on top of his entire team! [color=a36209]"Watch out! The cliff is going to explode!"[/color] He called out, engaging the shinobi that had thrown the kunai. With a few swift strokes, the pure brute strength of his blows caused the shinobi to lose his defence, and he was sent flying with a kick to his side. Approaching the team, hoping that they would be killed, were four enemy shinobi. [color=a36209]"Let's take them out quickly and regroup with the others!"[/color] [hr] [center][img]http://safebooru.org//images/1605/d9474df50578e460a4c27dab00922077e76891be.jpg?1680796[/img][/center] [center][h2][i][b][color=ed1c24]Uchiha Kota[/color][/b][/i][/h2][/center] [hr] The travelling was a little annoying for Kota, since he wasn't much for walking around everywhere constantly. Although, he had no major issue with it, he would have rather stayed home and relaxed if he had the chance. Still, at least when the mission was over, he could get to know the other Chūnin a little bit better. During his travel, he would take the time to catch up with Kasumi. Most of the day was spent laughing over something stupid or making jokes, but other times he was actually rather curious about her experiences. He was glad that they finally got to see each other again. Of course, a sudden thought hit him; what if she got hurt? He shook his head, trying to shake the idea of it out of his mind. She had grown up to become independent and strong enough to take care of herself. Besides, if she got hurt, he just had to remember the one thing he always told himself when he was a child; he was a hero! As the group finally reached the cliff, Kota was astonished by the sight before him. If only they weren't there to destroy the factory. He would have loved to play in that mist with his new 'friends'. Either way, he had a mission to do, and he was going to try and see it through. As the team slowly made their way in, it didn't take long for Sutemasu to alert one of the guards. Shaking his head, he noticed that Kasumi was giving them a buffer. With a grin, noticing that Reiji was entering the fray already, he took his sword out and cheered. [color=ed1c24]"Alright, Kasumi-chan! I'll show you what I can do!"[/color] Charging one of the enemies, he clashed them tool-to-tool. Sparks flew quickly, before he hit them sideways in the jaw with the handle of the blade. It seems that his Kenjutsu was quite skilled for a Chūnin. The man yet again attempted to bring his weapon down upon Kota, but each one was met with a parry, the sound of metal grinding and hitting together ringing. It was not until he brought his weapon down low for the Uchiha's feet that Kota leaped high into the air, before coming back down at the mans head with huge force. [color=ed1c24]"Lightning Style: Lightning Oppression Horizontal Drop!"[/color] With a loud boom, the man blocked the initial chop with his weapon, before being driven into the ground and knocked unconscious from the pure blow. Standing there confidently, he looked back at Kasumi, Reiji, and Sutemasu, resting the blade on his shoulder. Pointing at himself, he grinned, [color=ed1c24]"I told you, I'm a he-"[/color] Without even realizing it, a large man had smacked him out of the way, causing Kota to go flying into the ground a few feet back. He groaned, picking himself up, before bringing an angry glance at the man. [color=ed1c24]"What's the big idea, tubby!? I was in the middle of sounding all cool to someone I haven't seen in years and you ruined it!"[/color] For someone who acts positive, he sure did upset for something so stupid.
